Kneehab XP Rehabilitation Systems from Health and Care

A study on the effects of using Kneehab in a post ACL setting has been published in the June 2011 edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine. The study, which may have a significant impact on patient outcomes, found that patients who utilise the Kneehab XP device to aid post-operative rehabilitation:

Achieve significantly better strength and functional results at each time point (6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months) in recovery.

Return to pre-operative knee extensor strength, and to strength of the uninvolved leg, within 12 weeks, attaining pre-operative shuttle run speed by week 6 – twice as fast as other groups in the study.

Return to work up to 7 days quicker (2.7 weeks vs 3.7 weeks) than patients who complete exercise rehabilitation alone.
